What is the purpose of a military investigative hearing?

The purpose of a military investigative hearing in Minnesota is to provide a fair and impartial investigation into violations of the law or regulations by a member of the military. During the hearing, a military investigative officer will question the accused, witnesses, and any other relevant persons to determine if the charges against the accused are true. By doing so, the investigative officer can then make an assessment of whether any potential punishment would be appropriate. The purpose of the hearing is to ensure that the accused is given the opportunity to provide his or her story of the events in question, as well as to gather evidence and testimony from witnesses. The investigative officer will also consider other matters, such as the severity of the alleged offense, the accused’s record, and any mitigating factors. Ultimately, the purpose of the investigation is to provide the necessary evidence and testimony to determine whether or not the accused is guilt or not. If the accused is found guilty, the investigation will help determine an appropriate level of punishment or corrective action.
